WG2: Communication in Physics

Working Group 2 (WG2), Communication in Physics, was created by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics. It has been reconstituted to consider the problems that are emerging in electron publishing, and particularly considers internet availability/ reliability, linking between societies and publishers, availability of electronic communication in isolated areas, archiving, peer review, and intellectual property.

Charge to Working Group

It is the primary mission of the working group to make a set of recommendations on important issues in the international aspects of physics communication, especially electronic publication, that are appropriate for IUPAP action.
